Just bought (5/2011) a 2007 Mazda5 Touring from a dealer for $14,500 out the door. We love it so far - sold a 2006 Ford Freestyle Limited. Wanted a smaller, lighter vehicle with the same cargo ability and better gas mileage.

Traded for a '10 sport with 12k miles, dealer was asking 15,900 +tags and taxes, I was pleased with the price and they did haggle on the trade in till I was satisfied. With the gas savings over our trade in, the difference we paid will wash out after 120,000 miles or less if gas keeps going up, and I hope it will have another 100,000 miles left in it.
Can't complain about that price, how many miles?
Yay manual! Welcome and introduce yourself in the Lounge and post photos of your new ride!
About the same miles and $$$ I paid for my 2007 GT non Lux Package (Touring equivalent) in 2009.
200,000 miles easy! I did the same thing as well, haggled the price of my trade in rather than the price of the car.

24,411 miles. No complaints here. The owner's daily driver is a Ferrari 599 (I think, they look alike to me) and lives in the Hamptons. The Mz5 was his work car, which he wanted to trade-in for a 4WD (winters). He's an avid driver and only prefer manual cars -so much so that in the 24K miles, he almost put a hole in the driver side floor mat! Maybe he wears pointy boots with spurs or more likely the OEM mats are POOR quality! Funny that he's been trying to sell it for 3 week without a single interest b/c not many people who look at Mz5 are looking for a manual -until I came along

OEM mats are poor quality.
I guess everyone here loves Weathertech mats. Do you know which car he was getting? Not many 4WD manuals left... Subarus, Suzuki SX-4, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Xterra and Frontier to name a few. Didn't recognize your name at first, welcome Dib07CE from 9thgencorolla.

Hi.
Picking up my new 2012 Mazda5 Touring in Copper Red Mica on Saturday morning, paid $20.5K (added all-weather mats & rear bumper protector). TrueCar pricing was $19.8K, but the closest dealer offering that was 250 miles away; also, their only color options were silver or black.
Anyway, can't wait to pick it up!

I don't think that's a real good price, to be honest, considering TrueCar/Overstock.com pricing for a new 2012 Touring in my area (Pacific Northwest) is $19,843. A 2012 Sport comes out at $17,973.
You should plug in your local zip to the TrueCar pricing website and see what you get. Though I ultimately didn't use it for my purchase (couldn't get the color combo I wanted at that price), I was able to print out the offer and use it to negotiate w/the dealer I eventually used. Another helpful option/tool is Costco's car buying program; again, you can use the offer you get via them to negotiate w/non-program dealers.

It looks like TrueCar pricing in Austin & Houston is substantially higher than up here: $19,175 for a manual Sport and $21,068 for a Touring.
